That's an absolute lie. The entire browser uses around 400MB when a single tab for news.ycombinator.com is open. The tab itself sits at around 35MB. Additional tab increases by the same amount.

> a janky JavaScript mess.

You might be thinking of Vivaldi. Brave is certainly buggy, but it's not written in Javascript.


The project is listed as 100% JavaScript on github https://github.com/brave/brave-browser

https://github.com/brave/brave-browser

>This repository holds the build tools needed to build the Brave desktop browser for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

The web browser is here : https://github.com/brave/brave-core (8% of typescript)


> Where are the upsides in CSAM - whether real or computer generated? How does it benefit society?

In a public forum like X, there probably are no upsides.

In general, though, pedophilia exists. This isn't something that is going to change. What is the harm in providing them with a alternative to real CSAM (which actually and actively hurts children)?


Giving them no legal avenue allows us to put more of them in jail. Once they are in jail the odds of them molesting children goes from "possible very low but measurably above zero" to "~0."

I think you are looking at it from the point of it being a punishment for victimizing someone -- when in fact it's used not to punish crime but to put away people who potentially might victimize someone in the future.


Install Windows 11 and accept the default options. Congrats, your Documents, Desktop, Pictures are now synced to OneDrive. Unless you've read everything during the install, you might not even be aware of it. From now on, deleting files in the web interface will delete them from your computer.


The standard configuration of OneDrive also loves to "steal" files from your local machine. It will upload to the cloud, and then delete the local copy. Which is a great surprise the first time you are offline to discover that the files that were there are now inaccessible.


Thankfully it's trivially easy to disable OneDrive via the task manager startup tab. Never had any issues with MSFT sneakily turning it back on either.

This super aggressive OneDrive shit is also why I've stopped putting most things in the standard folders and now just have my own alternative hierarchy in %USERPROFILE% instead.


The rust way isn't intuitive if you're coming from C, but b = a does indeed transfer the ownership to b and a is now invalid/unusable. You would need to make a mutable reference if you want two variables that point to the same object.

> Who doesn't love multiple system settings apps, a mix of minimal new context menus and overcrowded legacy context menus just one more click away.

I get that you're making a Windows joke, but this describes Linux equally well.


Actually having just installed OpenSuSe w/ KDE, certain right click menus just generate errors OOTB, or control panels flat out don't work.

The UX leaves a lot to be desired.


PWNO provided a patch but it was rejected for being too large[1]. A maintainer fixed it himself[2]. I don't know if PWNO used a LLM but it seems clear that the maintainer had a preferred specific style in mind so it was likely hand written (albeit inspired by the initial patch).

2. https://code.ffmpeg.org/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/commit/4bfac71ecd96488...


I just need to say that "commits" has been translated to Spanish as "confirmations" in that website, and it made me chuckle.

Is Forgejo using LLM-assisted translations? Or simply somepne without any context whatsoever in order to understand the word's meaning?

---- EDIT:

I went on a fun detour to inform myself better, and ended up finding [1] where Gitlab had the same discussion. Seems some translations have tried to use "confirmation" as translation for a git commit.

But really, this is one of those cases where no local word is able to appropriately describe such an unique concept oridea. I'd love to retroactively chime in and confirm (hah) that the english word "Commit" has trascended any translation attempts, and absolutely nobody would know what you're talking about if you say "confirmation" in an attempt to use a spanish term.

So Forgejo authors if you read this: it'd better to do as Gitlab did.

Thanks to tools, I'm a far more capable hunter than my cat. It's trivial for a human of any size to kill a slow moving cow. It's very hard to imagine any scenario where a domestic cat would be capable of hurting a cow, let alone kill and eat it.


> I'm sorry but why C#?

Because Stardew Valley is written in it. Probably half of modern games are written in C#, too (Unity). It's not exactly an odd choice.

> Isn't the big tech (Microsoft) in this case is a very big downside?

No, a language being backed by big tech is a plus as long as the stack is fully open-source (which .net now is).

> Why not LÖVE (Lua) for example?

Because Stardew Valley uses MonoGame, not LOVE.

> There is also libGDX (Java) but not sure Oracle is any better than Microsoft.

Other than Minecraft, can you name one successful game written in Java?


Others have mentioned big names, I’ll mention a medium ish name: Mindustry.


Slay the Spire!


> Other than Minecraft, can you name one successful game written in Java?

The other major one would be RuneScape.


I very much doubt that the track record of companies fronted by an hands-on engineer is much better. If anything they probably fail faster on average so we never hear about them.


Most of the big tech companies were started and led by technical people.
